Sub 40 on beginner method with RS 3 M PB is 33.6 seconds
It was a very good achievement even though I main 2x2
 
Started the day with a 10.40 PB ao5, and beat it no fewer than three times today, with two 10.33s (no overlapping solves, the averages were probably half an hour apart) and then getting this

Still no sub 10, but it still felt very good. My ao100 is flirting with being permanently sub 12 as well.

Still trying to beat my 7.11 hand scramble but this is PB computer gen scramble.

z2 x // inspection
M F' U D L2 // cross, preserve and cancelling into 1st pair
U2 L' // 1st pair
U' R U' R' U R U R' // 2nd pair
U y L U2 L' U' L U L' // 3rd pair
R U' R' U R U' R' // 4th pair
U2 r' R U R U R' U' r R2 F R F' // OLL
U2 // AUF (PLL skip)

Honestly I'm not sure why I didn't sledge the last pair in to avoid dot case, I usually do that. It worked out though.

Still prouder of my 7.48 because it was full step.

Edit: I took a break after that solve but the next two turned it into my first sub 9 mo3.

First sub-40 average of 5, and a very solid one at that!
That counting 48 in the average of 12 is painful, though...

When I set sub 10 average of 5 as my goal for this year back in january, my PB was 11.11. Now, with only a month and a half left in the year, I did it.

This is my 3rd sub-10 average of 5, after a 9.82 and a 9.99!
And two improvements to my average of 12 in quick succession is very nice.

Finally after 2 years of practice (1 year and a half break of cubing) I got my first sub10 single in 3x3!!

My PB was 10.08s, for months, and today I beat sub10 and sub9 in the same solve, with a time of 8.73s FULL STEP!!!
